But about the rims....that kinda sucks with hidden fees like that. At least I know they're a good company. Well I contacted this vendor that's hooking it up on Enkei wheel/tire packages and I emailed him asking if he could beat that price. I'll wait on a reply. Hope he doesn't know wheelsnext has these hidden fees....muahahaa

But now it's either those or 5zigen Copse in hyperblack. I've just thought about these recently...wut u guys think? I know i'm so undecisive.

whoa whoa whoa.. booty? huh? where? [btw, i have seen kareem's avatar and all i gotta say is ]..

sorry i went OT there for a minute hehe.. but jus FYI, if you order from wheelsnext, you could always opt to not have them mount/balance the wheels and take them to a shop near you when u get them. but i got quoted for more than $40 bucks around here and i got quoted more than $20 for tuner lugs. so if you cant get a better deal, i suggest u jus go with wheelsnext.. well worth the money

If it's not about your *** fiesty then it's ~! hehe.

I called wheelnext today and you were right majestic! Not that I didn't trust u, just wanted to know how much and stuff. DAMN THEY'RE hidden fees! But still a good deal, it's just that my budget is a lil lower than that. The breakdown was $40 for mount/balance, $20 for lugs, $40 for handling. It was $50 for just wheels and tires to be put in seperate boxes.

I checked whalentire.com. They got a nice selection for great deals. Best part is you can choose which tires you want with the rims . I figured $720 mounted/balanced with Kumho Ecsta 711, no lugs, free shipping. Does anyone know if they got hidden fees too?

ps I might just save the money and use it to visit Fiesty

I stand corrected! Whalentire.com prices DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING !!! Just when you think you got a nice deal going, "in the end it doesn't even matter."

I guess i've proven this thread more useful than it is. I'm helping out all those fellow lancer owners who wants to buy rims.

Hell yeah dude...bronze would look sooo bad ***. If you can find a darker bronze, like gold...that would make ur ride look mean. A really bright bronze may not look so good.

UPS came today and I got my rims~!!!! yeaaaaa! Those boxes were so f_ckin heavy! I think I pulled a hernia or sumthin. Well worth it though, hehe. I probably won't have it on till 2 weeks from now. If you guys haven't read my thread in the OT, my car was vandalized. So I won't have my car for a lil more than a week :. But when it's all done, i'll get my rims put on and new spark plugs w/ magnacor wires.
